EastWest Sounds has announced the release of a new instrument library designed for producers who seek bold new territory beyond the clean and polished—diving into a world of intentional imperfection and extreme processing.
LO-FI creatively reshapes sound through pitch shifting, distortion, and degradation, transforming everything from synths and keys to orchestral textures and guitars into dynamic, expressive instruments.
Whether crafting hip-hop beats, atmospheric soundtracks, or experimental electronic music, these sounds provide the raw energy and depth to inspire new sonic frontiers.
LO-FI’s user interface centers around an XY Pad with 4 selectable Macro Effects that change multiple parameters simultaneously. Blending a vintage knob-per-function design with sleek modern styling, all of LO-FI’s controls are easily accessible in a single page – from dual filters that can be modulated to an advanced 16-step arpeggiator, a multi-mode portamento (glide), and a bevy of effects to widen, pulse, distort, delay, and spatialize the final sound.
The release of LO-FI coincides with the 10th anniversary of ComposerCloud+, the very first subscription service for music producers with over 42,000 high-quality instruments for every genre. To celebrate this occasion, EastWest offers the subscription for only $9.99 USD/month or $99 USD/year to all new subscribers in April 2025.
LO-FI is included in every ComposerCloud+ subscription, or on sale for the introduction price of $199 USD for a perpetual license (regular $299 USD).
